Well, I'd give them credit for trying something different. But the list of failed second-tier teams is getting ever longer. The make-or-break wildcard system of the Grand Tours just doesn't really lend itself to supporting a decent number of teams for me.

Larry Warbasse and Conor Dunne's No Go Tour
Wout Van Aert doesn't want to ride for Roompot-Crelan or whatever that team is going to be called.

Yeah, it's a missed opportunity in the sense that the course would really suit them this year and this is possibly their last chance to take a stripey jersey. Neither of them seems to have any motivation at the moment and reading between the lines it feels as if something has gone (going?) off behind the scenes at Sky as a result of what happened in July, presumably it will all dribble out in time.
Not really sure who the Worlds is going to suit with all that climbing, originally I had Nibs but he's not recovered from his Tour crash. That Hottinger climb will play into the hands of Fleche-esque riders like Alaphilippe and Valverde but they'll presumably be heavily marked. Could see it being a race of attrition with no-one wanting to risk blowing up.
Elsewhere Siutsou has failed an out of competition test for EPO, the prize dolt.

The Vuelta people are a pack of cunts. Taking down live streams is fair enough, I can see how that might interfere with your revenue. But taking down files of a race that has already been run is arsehole behaviour, and is really fucking with my ability to follow/enjoy the Vuelta.

Cute piece on misleading race profiles. I love the Vuelta a Burgos stage where riders seemingly go backwards.

GB launch new kit for the Road Worlds ;
A lot nicer than it's predecessor, though the prominence of red on the chest is a little strange.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 21-09-2018, 11:00.
